Alex Bolboacă & Adi Bolboacă – Your Easy Start to TDD

Summary

We are teaching unit testing and TDD for a few years now. During this time, we have discovered a few practices that all advanced practitioners do, usually without realizing it. I believe these practices are the key for a good start with TDD.

We will introduce these practices in a short talk and we’ll also if we will have enough time we will do a practice session.

You will need to bring your laptops with a unit testing framework installed. You need to have good knowledge of the programming language you will use and know how to use the unit testing framework of choice./p>
